Our Mission
SMCR promotes the inclusion of persons with developmental differences into the life of our community. We advocate for individuals with special needs, to recognize the inherent dignity that is theirs because they are members of our one human family. We promote social recreational and educational opportunities where individuals with developmental differences can contribute their unique gifts and develop their potential.
Learn MoreWhat We Mean When We Say 'Inclusion'
SMCR provides its members with programs that go beyond inclusion to incorporate persons with developmental differences into the life of the large community. SMCR programs are designed to first prove the concept that a person with disabilities can succeed in challenging activities in new settings, such as a cooking class in a commercial kitchen or a movement class in a for-profit gym. Then each program offers the SMCR member the opportunity to grow from competence to community involvement.
Learn MoreOur Goal
SMCR has a broad vision of how communities and persons with developmental differences can live, work, play and learn together. We implement that vision at the personal level, one person at a time, because each person’s needs and dreams matter. We hope to continue to grow so that we may touch the lives of more people in our community.

SMCR has been an active member of the Southern Maryland community since we were founded in 2013. During our short time as a part of the Southern Maryland community, we have formed partnerships with many community organizations, businesses, faith communities, advocates and families. By leveraging these relationships, we have developed several social and recreational programs for our members that are inclusive and affordable.
